Q: What Is Your View?
asked by: @~Sonia on December 24th, 2007
New User
So my bf and I made christmas lists togeither the beginning of nov, so we both knew what eachother wanted.... So it comes time to exchange gifts, and he doesnt have one for me... Its not that he doesnt have time, or money... because he has plenty of both..For me, a gift is showing how much someone means to you, it doesnt even have to be anything expensive, Its just a way to show that you think of them, and there important in your life.. He asked me yesterday what i wanted, we exchanged gifts today, I just feel sad about it. like maybe i dont mean as much to him as i thought i did. He just kept putting it off (or didnt care idk) until there wasnt enough time to even get me anything.. For me, his was the first present i bought.

What is your guys's view? about the whole thing.
And how do you view the gifts (if you give gifts)

Idk if im just over reacting on him not geting me anything, or if this could be a clue to how my life will be like if i stay with him ya know?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I highly doubt he's surprising me on x-mas, and besides ill be at my grandmas all day.
Ya thats what i thought card, dollar store stuffed animal, pice of candy lol anything.
He didnt say why he didnt get me anything, just acted like my gift was him being there or something, he opend his gift got excited said thank you, than said he didnt have anything to give me, and asked if i wanted to go watch a movie.

LOL trust me, in my head i was freaking out and calling him all kinds of nasty names!

but i wanted time to think about it before i said anything so i didnt over react and feel bad about it later... which i seem to do alot lol

Just from this i picture a future with him being like the tv shows, where its your bday, or some holliday and the guy comes home and is like o crap! happy ____ ill be right back! and runs to the gas station to give you a candy bar and fake flower, not only will i only be getting sex once in a blue moon, but i wont get gifts either lol..

It kinda depends on how long you have been dating. I know our first christmas he did not really want to exchange because we had only been together for a few months.

I would sit him down and talk to him. Ask him what he is feeling. Their may be issues you do not know about.

I think your right to think about your future. I think most of us women don't.
Men don't change unless they want to. We can't change them.
You have every right to be upset. You both talked about it and he didn't follow through with your planes.
Did he get other people presants? That would really upset me!
It sounds like you care alot about him though. Its up to you how you handle it.
Try to have a good x-mas any way. And I hope it all works out for you.
Let us know.

I care about him alot, and i just dont think he cares about me as much as i do him Sad

Well we stoped by best buy so that he could pick up a new game he wanted today, and he's walking twards the back and starts looking for a cd he wanted and he's all oh ya! you wanted a cd huh? so he's like okay hands me 2 cd's and tells me to choose, and i tould him i know my mom got me one of them and didnt want to get one if she already got me one, and he's like oh its okay. and I kept telling him no its okay ill just stick with the one my mom got me, and he kept bugging me till i chose a cd.

So now he got me somthing..... But im even more pissed! now i know he wasnt surprising me with anything cute on x-mas. And it seems he just randomly choose something just so he got something for me! Sad

You should sit down with him and gently tell him how you feel about the situation. Tell him how you appreciate his gift, but was hoping for something special and ask if he'll work on maybe putting together a surprise or a nicer gift next year. I'm sorry it happened this way this Christmas Sad

Yeah I would say definatly talk to him about it... Maybe even bring it up in a joking way and see what he says and then start the conversation that way?

I would definately be a little ticked off. Maybe you should just talk to him and find out whats going on (like everyone suggested) = )

Maybe there is an explanation. He should have at least thought of you or mentioned why to you, it seems very inconsiderate. Talk to him, you wont know until you ask

Oh my gosh, you need to be straight-forward with him and tell him he is acting like a DUMBA**! Ok maybe not those exact words, but it sounds like he is just an oblivious guy that doesn't get it. Tell him that Christmas is the time of year to splurge on your loved ones and show you care. Tell him that his strange gift gestures read to u as him not caring, so is this true? (He better have a good explanation!)

My guy is broke, but he still bought me shoes and an expensive sweater only because he knew I wanted it. It's all in the heart. He could have at least written you a song or a card or something!

A lot of times guys need a big smack on the back of the head because they are SO clueless. You really have to spell it out for them, even though you shouldn't have to. You have to call them out on their mistakes or they will keep doing it! And if they don't change, then maybe they are not right for you because they don't care enough about your feelings. Especially when it comes to a thoughtful Christmas gift. (How hard is that?!)

Remember, it's better to be single than to be with a careless jerk.
